It was kind of strange, dintcha think, that John McCain came to the defense of his supporters last night after Barack Obama pointed out that people at McCain/Palin rallies were shouting out "terrorist" and "kill him!" in reference to Obama.

Now an Al Jazeera camera crew caught the honest sentiments of McCain/Palin supporters at an Ohio rally:

“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”

“When you got a Negra running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

“He seems like a sheep - or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin - she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”

“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”

“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”

“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”

“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda - a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”

“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”

Yep, McCain must be so proud.

The rest of us, well ... let's just say those polls should tell the story.

Wow, I think I will vote for Bobama The Clown then.

There was a great clip on the Daily show of a woman explaining to John McCain why she did not like Obama, " Cause he is an Arab." Mccain's response is priceless shaking his head in disgust.

I gather that could be true and that he's apparently short.

What about not voting for him because of the creepiness that he can't raise his arms above his shoulders?

Like some of those other hideous reasons that would be such a low class reason to NOT to vote for him.

Peace

Hm, really? I don't doubt that there are mindless people voting for Obama (I've met a few myself), and there's been some anger directed at specifically Palin that I've found disconcerting at times, I think it'd be hard to make an argument that the level, frequency and ferocity of anger at McCain/Palin rallies exceeds the former. Thus far, the worst thing I've seen from Obama rallies are disgusting t-shirts disparaging Palin; the worst thing I've seen or heard from McCain rallies are supporters who advocate for Obama's assassination. There is a difference there, and it's been much more public and accepted at these rallies as these videos can attest. To be fair, maybe this stuff is happening at Obama rallies and it just hasn't been recorded. However, this "anger" story became a story cause liberal bloggers took cameras and went to McCain rallies; I think it's fair to say that conservative bloggers have probably done the same.

So is there reprehensible behavior in both camps? Sure, but I think after looking at the situation it's pretty obvious the more hateful and more frequent speech is coming from the conservative side of the aisle.

Ya but i questioned McCain's intent with his response "no ma'am .....no he is a decent person" or something like that.
Is he saying that all Arabs are bad??

Is this considered to be the "Heartland"? I sure hope not.

gabers · October 2008

McCain can't help he's got a bunch of outspoken mouthbreathers voting for him. But he and Palin can be a little more vocal in their opposition to these types at their rallies. It's funny, there are so many people that will vote for McCain for no other reason than they "hate niggers". People that would normally probably never normally vote for the man.
